There's a candle I keep in my window,
And it's burning brighter tonight.
Through the storm and the winds of change,
I'll be sure that you can see the light.
I never wandered, I never gave up,
'Cause a true heart never goes astray.
Whatever road that you take
Will lead you back to me,
'Cause our love is too strong to slip away.

Like a river flowing into the ocean,
I can feel you coming back to me.
(Bring it on back)
'Cause our love is like a sacred emotion,
And it's burning bright
For the whole world to see.

It won't be long before I hear
That knock on my door, that telephone call.
And if your journey takes you far away,
I'll still catch you when you fall.
Love's like a wheel, turning 'round and round,
The feeling fades but never dies.
There'll never be any question
Or doubt in my mind,
'Cause the answer's right there, in your eyes.

Like a river flowing into the ocean,
I can feel you coming back to me.
(Bring it on back)
'Cause our love is like a sacred emotion,
And it's burning bright
For the whole world to see.
Bring it on back to me.

Whatever road that you take
Will lead you back to me
'Cause our love is too strong to slip away.

Like a river flowing into the ocean,
(Bring it on back to me)
I can feel you coming back to me.
(I feel you in my heart)
'Cause our love is like a sacred emotion
And it's burning bright
For the whole world to see.
I feel you coming back to me.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
